For anybody who has the Optimum box set...


I noticed on DVD Beaver (the actual page is http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/DVDReviews17/faces_dvd_review.htm ) that the Optimum box set includes 20 minutes from the alternate print of Faces, whereas the Criterion set (which I have) only has the first 17 minutes. Can anybody with the Optimum set tell me just what they show from the alternate print of Faces? The Criterion set features just the first 17 minutes, and I believe it ends in the bar with Jeannie saying to Freddie and Richard "they're just mad because you won't blow your wad on them" after inviting them to her place. Does the Optimum set feature more footage from the beginning of the film, or is it from another segment of the film? I'm really curious to know.

Of course, it is highly unfortunate that both versions of the film weren't included (as well as the first version of Shadows, but that is another matter).
